Sustainability
In Zambia, ongoing sustainability practices are becoming increasingly important in preserving the country’s natural beauty and supporting local communities. Efforts are being made to protect the country’s rich wildlife, with a focus on conserving iconic species like elephants and rhinos.
Ecotourism initiatives are thriving, providing travellers with the opportunity to engage with nature while contributing to local economies and conservation efforts. Additionally, sustainable agriculture practices and reforestation projects are helping to address environmental challenges and create a more resilient agricultural sector.
Travel tips from our editors
Try Local Food and Products
Brazilian cuisine is highly underrated! While Mexican food conquered the world (for good reasons!), most people are not familiar with Brazilian dishes and never had the chance to try.
So, if you are in Brazil, take this opportunity to explore the immense variety of local fruits, legumes and vegetables, many only found in South America! The cuisine changes drastically from region to region in Brazil, but some ingredients are loved and used daily by all Brazilians, such as rice, beans and mandioca (cassava).
Also, if you have a sweet tooth, our desserts will definitely not disappoint!
Enjoy the Rich Culture
Getting around
Depending on the location of the places you wish to visit, it is often more convenient to fly, after all Brazil is huge! All capital cities and major destinations are served with national (and sometimes international) airports. Renting a car or travelling by bus, nevertheless, are also very good options for a more slow-paced travel. Buses are affordable and comfortable, but renting your own vehicle is more suitable for reaching more secluded places and for having more freedom to enjoy the landscapes and cities. Travelling by train is not an option, as railways are used only for the transportation of goods. There are, however, a few exceptions of scenic train routes for tourists, such as the one in Rio Negrinho, one of our featured sustainable destinations.
Tourism & People
Tourism in Zambia is a captivating journey into the heart of Africa’s wild beauty. Known for its pristine wilderness, it offers a diverse range of experiences, from thrilling safaris in renowned national parks like South Luangwa and Kafue to the mesmerizing spectacle of Victoria Falls, one of the world’s largest waterfalls.
With its abundant wildlife, unique landscapes, and the mighty Zambezi River, Zambia is a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Furthermore, tourism is being seen by the government as a tool for economic and rural development, as it generates income, creates jobs, promotes wildlife conservation, and improves standards of living.
Nature & Wildlife
With 30% of the country devoted to conservation in 19 national parks and 34 game management areas, Zambia offers incredible wildlife experiences. Kafue National Park stands out for its diverse wildlife, including lions, leopards, and a variety of herbivores. The iconic Mosi-oa-Tunya, or Victoria Falls, shared with Zimbabwe, showcases breathtaking scenery and white rhinos. Zambia’s rich biodiversity extends to birds, reptiles, and large grazing animals, making it a prime safari destination.

“Brazil is a worldwide known hotspot for biodiversity as well as home to a multitude of cultural expressions. The natural and cultural heritage and immense variety of tourism experiences in the country are valuable assets for its competitiveness. Yet, as we envision a post Covid-19 era, sustainability in tourism becomes crucial to build resilience and guarantee the long-lasting health of Brazil’s ecosystems and well-being of the hosting communities. This would also ensure an active contribution of the country’s tourism sector to the Sustainable Development Goals.”
